Racing is not an entirely different subject. It underscores my point that an e-bike's capabilities should be classified into some kind of classification, and that classification displayed on the bike. This goes for law enforcement as much as race officials. You hate the class system, no problem...

Watch for an announcement at Sea Otter.

I really wish that RCS would pick their US provider so that I know which streaming provider to sign up for ASAP. It should be HBO Max but maybe not. Just pick one. This is ridiculous.

The pulleys last a long time and are cheap to replace. Worry about other things. Get the Park IR-1.3 internal routing kit. You can always try snaking out the old housing with a spare inner wire, but if you get the kit, it gives you several options in case one doesn't work. Beware, that with...

What about lawsuits?

Right. That's $189 I didn't need to spend since I already had a perfectly good MTX2.0 trunk bag. I did not know that I could have gotten a Topeak MIK adapter, but then I would have had the SKS rack/MIK baseplate/MIK Topeak adapter, right? That's one thing too much for me.

The MIK system is really nice. The baseplate came on the Pinarello. If I wasn't already invested in the Topeak MTX, I would have adopted it. As it is, I had to adapt the Topeak baseplate to the SKS rack.

So what? I'm a retired electrical engineer. I understand what is being discussed. I have no need for it. Anyone that wants to dive into it at level, have at it. Enjoy it. Embrace it. Live it. For all but folks like them, Bosch provides all an e-bike rider needs to tune their drive unit to their...

What are dork disks and reflectors? ;)

You can vary the assist%. I didn't say it was exactly the same. I said it can do pretty much the same thing.

The class system is used for verification of assist levels. It gives a visual indicator of approval. Don't want any approvals or verification? Fine. Want to leave behavior up to individual responsibility? Fine. Want to rely on enforcement of regulations to maximize safety and minimize damage...

Torque

Well then, they've done a superbly crappy job with all of that power. States are rushing to limit e-bikes and meanwhile 10,000+ watt 60mph scooters are ignored.

Classes are necessary for local and state regulation on their roads and trails, and for racing, where the NGB wants to limit output. How else would you do this?

Bosch Smart System does something similar with adjustable pedal dynamics. By reducing dynamics and assistance to Lower, you get pretty much the same thing.

Scan with a spectrum analyzer to verify that nothing is being transmitted.

Make sure to send some good porn to China.

I'm glad it worked out for you.
